    I don't understand how this logic can apply to one of Bill Cosby's shows but not the other. If someone can separate the art from the artist for one show, why not both?

    “Do we have to cut off the contributions that the show itself made,” she continued, “and all the people that helped contribute to what that was?"

      It's just how perception works. A does not always = A in people's minds. They see one situation one way and then an identical situation comes along with one little difference and they suddenly see that situation 100% accurate and you think, if you can see that here why not back there? Just how people see things. What boggles my mind is, they have the ability and logic to see it, but still don't see it.
